I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Im/migrant Well-Being Research Center housed in the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of South Florida. Our center is focused on research that addresses the well-being of the Florida in/migrant community. My dissertation research in narrative analysis of health policy and my master's work on social movements all narrative methods for the study of cultural narratives that sustain and perpetuate inequities. Through my studies in art, linguistics, restorative justice, governance, social movements, and social psychology, transcultural communication and symbolic interaction have always been at the center of my scholarly pursuit.
